They sure seem to have alot of money for travel.
They were not welcome to West Texas when they came for a fallen hero. I just think they must have some big group behind them that give them funds. They were only 2 ladies and about 5 kids with them when they came here. Really it was pitiful seeing those kids being used.
Fred Phelps' funding comes from the taxpayers.
His modus operandi for years was staging offensive protests, getting arrested and then suing the police and municipal governments for infringing his free speech rights.
He has been living off judgments for over thirty years.
The goal of these protests is for the women and children he sends to be injured so he can sue and make more money.
He has never protested a military funeral in person, because he is a physical coward who is afraid of being injured.
The last adult male Phelps associate who protested a funeral had the living Phelps kicked out of him and spent months in a hospital.
So he sends out women and kids in the hopes that they will be injured badly enough to win another windfall judgment. Phelps, although disbarred for malfeasance, was once a very sharp lawyer.
